When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a

prefix with the unit. A pain-relieving pill has a mass of 0.005 g. Express the pill’s mass in grams using scientific notation or in milligrams. Express your answer in scientific notation to one significant figure or use a prefix on the unit.

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}. (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

I = I_{D} - I_{H} (1)

Where:

  • I_{D} - Moment of inertia of the Disk.
  • I_{H} - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right) (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole (m):

\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}

m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M

And the resulting equation is:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)

I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}. (Correct answer: A)

Help with this question please.
mr Goodwill [35]

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108
quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz
